Greenville News MOnl1day.
While going to answer a call at the
Branwood crbssing near 6 o'clock last
evening, Sheriff liendrix Rector, Rural
Policeman NV. It. Plumley, Mrs. Osteen
and Miss Janie Fields, were thrown
from Sheriff Rtector's Ford automobile
'near the middle of the Reedy River
viaduct and all four are in the hos
pital. The two men are seriously hurt
but neither of the women seem to have
suffered any great injuries.
It seems that Sheriff Rector was at
tempting to dodge a (log which was
in front of his macliine ani that the
rear wheels got hung in the ca r
tracks and caused the rear tIres to
explode. This so jarredi the car that
it is said the sheriff threw on the
brakes and the cat huined turtle,
,hrowing all four to the sti'eet.

'Now that Parisian Sage-a scientific
pIreparation that supplies every, h'tir

drug counter or from Laurens Drvig
Co., it is certainly needless to havo

hair, how badly it is falling, or how
much dandruff, Parisian Sage is all
that is necded. -Every trace of dan
druff is removed with one application,
the hair roots are nourished and stim

comes soft, fluffy, abundant and radi

Parisian Sage is surely one of the
